Marjorie Taylor Greene: US House votes to punish Republican
The US House of Representatives has voted to expel a Republican congresswoman from two committees over incendiary remarks she made before being elected last November.
Marjorie Taylor Greene had promoted baseless conspiracy theories and showed support for violence against Democrats.
Before the vote, she said she regretted her views, which included claims that school shootings and 9/11 were staged.
Eleven Republicans joined the Democrats to pass the motion by 230-199.
It means the Georgia representative cannot take up her place on the education and budget panels.
It is highly unusual for one party to intervene in another party’s House committee assignments.
